Mizzou participates in the Midwest Student Exchange Program, which encourages students to attend out-of-state schools by offering reduced fees for selected programs. Participating states include:

• Kansas
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• Nebraska
• North Dakota
• Wisconsin

As an MSEP student attending Mizzou from any of these states, you may be eligible to pay a reduced tuition rate.

The Midwest Student Exchange Program offers an excellent opportunity to maximize the value of your Mizzou experience. But bear in mind:

• As an MSEP student, you are not eligible for the Mark Twain Nonresident Scholarship, the Mizzou Heritage Scholarship or the nonresident tax offset credit for Missouri taxpayers. Also, you cannot petition for Missouri resident status. You would be required to be a non-participant in the MSEP for 12 months before applying for Missouri resident status. This could cost you more in the long run.
• If you choose a dual major, you will need to designate your primary and secondary majors. Only the primary major will be considered for eligibility in MSEP.
• If you later change your secondary major to a primary major, you could lose credit in your new primary major, which could add costs. Depending on your new primary major, you may not be eligible to continue participating in the MSEP program.
• If you change your major to a nonparticipating program, you must leave MSEP. You will be required to verify your enrollment in a participating degree program each semester.

Before you can apply for Missouri Residency Tuition, you must leave the MSEP program for one year. Please contact our office for additional information if you are considering this option.

Before enrolling, be sure to verify that the academic program you’re interested in is included in MSEP.
